Embark on a nostalgic musical journey with the release of "We’ll Be Right Back After These Messages," an innovative new album that reimagines the iconic guests of the Arsenio Hall Show. This groundbreaking record, that dropped today and brings together 15 tracks that blend past with topics still apropos to today’s society.
Drawing inspiration from the unforgettable moments of the Arsenio Hall Show, features previous episodes guests but also conjures up a vibrant mix of envisioned guests, transporting them from the 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s into the 1990s. Each track represents a topic that I think would be featured prominently during an interview.
"We’ll Be Right Back After These Messages" stands as a testament to the show's enduring legacy and its influence on pop culture. The album’s diverse soundscape captures the spirit of Arsenio Hall's dynamic guest lineup, paying homage to the show’s influential role in shaping the music and entertainment landscape.

Common & Pete Rock – The Auditorium Vol. 1
Pete Rock and Common invite you all to The Auditorium
“Pete Rock is one of The Greatest Creators Hip Hop and Music has ever seen. It has been a dream of mine to work with him on an album. And once we got together and I was around him and all his records and his MPC I felt the spirit of what I always loved in hip hop, in soul music, and why I wanted to be a part of the artform. His beats, his production, his scratches, took me to a place where I could just MC freely. It felt like I was home.” - Common

8ch2Owens x Tali Rodriguez - The Art Attack
8ch2Owens & Tali Rodriguez are the Art Attack
Knuckle Dragguz Producer/ Emcee/ Engineer Tali Rodriguez provided all the Production and Owens created these joints from 2023 til just June this year.
During that time he launched a New Online Radio Station (that is now streaming 24/7 (WVCC Radio), ended a relationship of 9 years to someone he was sure he was going to marry, had to say goodbye to his 3 Children as they moved back in with their Mother, and left his childhood home of Miami/ Kendall Florida to start the next chapter of his life in Vero Beach FL. It has been an emotionally charged year, full of Peaks and Valleys, which are mostly documented on this new album.
Full of banging beats, heavy bar work, and deep looks inside the mind of the "Humble Host" known as 8ch2Owens, along with some great guest appearances by close friends DJ GLIBSTYLEZ, C.GREG, WHICHCRAFT, PRINCE DIVINE, SANKOFA FORT WAYNE, & SEVEN STAR; ART ATTACK is a cathartic tool which helped him through one of the hardest and most confusing periods of his life.
"It is said that some of the best art grows out of the soil of pain and struggle. I pray that you find the work of Art Tali and I collaborated on as enjoyable and therapeutic as we did while making it." - 8ch2Owens
